Why Capacity on Demand

I need flexibility. My business
is dynamic and I need to be able
quickly respond to new
demands. (And by the way, I only
request funds from the board once
a year.)

My budget is very tight. I don’t
want to pay for something until I
actually use it.

Why Capacity on Demand

I am championing a new computer
application that will hopefully save my
company a huge amount of money
over time. But I need help getting it off
the ground. We’re out of computing
resource, but I still need to find a way
to run a test.

We need an offsite computer in
case of disaster. It has to be able to
support the key production
workload at the home site, but we
can’t afford to pay full price for a
computer which will hopefully
rarely be used.

Permanent Activations (CUoD) Mechanics

Initial purchase
– IBM activates the quantity of processors and 1GB
memory prior to customer shipment

MES orders
– Activation codes specific to server
a) shipped to client and
b) posted on CoD Web page
– Customer or Service Representative enters code
1Proc
into server via HMC or ASMI interface

Underlying infrastructure
– VPD anchor card in server maintains knowledge of activations
– Activation codes are specific to a server
– Movement of physical parts does not move CoD activations
– CoD MES orders are specific to a single server



CUoD Upgrade Process
1. Place order for activation feature (quantity n) HMC Status Screen
2. Unique activation code posted to web & mailed. Code will
activate the quantity of resource on only that server serial number.

5. HMC provides activations status
Web Interface

VPD Anchor Card
3. Retrieve code
from the web &
enter using the HMC
menu or ASMI
interface
4. Code sent to VPD anchor card
HMC Entry Screen and server dynamically modifies
configuration
HMC V7 screens

“Processor Day” Definition

Continuous 24-hour powered on period
for one processor
Usually correlates to 24-hour clock time
period, but can be longer if the system is
powered down

If more than one processor is turned on, then more than
one processor day is used per continuous 24-hour period
– Example: turn on 3 processors for 3 days = 9 processor days used
– Example: turn on 2 processor for 1 day = 2 processor days used
– Example: turn on 2 processors for ½ day = 2 processor days used
– (round up)

Same basic definition applies to Memory GB day



On/Off CoD Overview

1. Client registers and obtains no-charge activation code to
‘enable’ On/Off function *
2. Client uses HMC interface to activate desired resources
3. Client reports usage to IBM (Monthly)
4. IBM processes usage data and provides Sales Channel
details to be used for billing (quarterly)
5. Sales Channel generates MES order to bill for usage using
feature codes specific to server model and speed.
6. Client pays for usage billed via MES order
7. Participation in program continues until termination
requested

* If not already in place and if a business partner, business partner must also register

– Must be ordered as an MES
– No charge for enablement
– Memory enablement must be separately ordered
– Will not ship until registration complete and contracts submitted to
tcod@us.ibm.com

5) Usage
Request the
number of days
and request the
number of
processors or
GB memory

The system will
remind you of
your planned
end date, but will
not take back
the resource
HMC V7 screen

Client uses GUI menus to activate temporary activation


Usage Comments

Turn the processor/memory on …. Leave it on until finished
unless you are sure you don’t need the resource again. There are
no partial day credits. See the Capacity on Demand User's Guide.

A processor day can be longer than 24-hours if the entire system
is powered off.

You must not only stop using the On/Off activated processor, you
MUST return it to system else “the meter keeps running”.

The actual system which calculates/measures the processor day
does some rounding, ESPECIALLY when changing your request,
and can be a little confusing. See the Capacity on Demand User's
Guide for insights/examples. Use the report generated by the
system.


12


6) Monthly Reporting: Electronic or Manual
By the client contract described back in step 3), you, the client must report billing data to IBM,
at least once per month, regardless of whether you have used temporary capacity during
the period. You can use several methods to report information about your requests for
temporary capacity provided, using IBM Electronic Service Agent™ (preferred), fax, or e-mail.
You can view CoD billing information and save it to a file on a remote system or to a file on
removable media. If you choose to manually report the billing information, use the CoD Billing
Information window on the HMC to save the billing information. Then you can either attach
the file to an e-mail or print it and fax it to your CoD administrator.

To view and save CoD code-generation information:
1. In the navigation area of the HMC window, expand Systems
Management.
2. Select Servers.
3. In the contents area, select the server on which you want to
view and save the CoD code information.
4. Select Tasks. Capacity on Demand 29
On/Off Use 5 Select Capacity on Demand (CoD).
6. Select Processors (or Memory).
(in days) 7. Select the CoD offering you want to view or save.
8. Select View Code Information.
9. In the CoD Code Information window, click Save to save the
CoD code information to a file on a remote system or to a file on
removable media.
10. In the Save CoD Code Information panel, select one of these
options, and then perform the tasks associated with that option
HMC V7



Reporting Comments

If you (client) fail to report, IBM can assume you used 90
processor days and/or 90 Memory Days that month.


13


7) Billing: Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct
Reports sent quarterly to registered sales channel

ple
s am
Sales Channel:
If this report indicates there
is billable usage, you are
obligated, per the attachment
you signed for Temporary
Capacity on Demand, to
process an MES order within
the next 30 days.



8) Terminating On/Off CoD

If the machine is sold *
If CoD is no longer desired

To obtain the termination code, send a request for an
On/Off CoD termination code to the CoD Administrator:
pcod@us.ibm.com
Confirmation of the entry of the termination code will end
the contractual obligation of the On/Off CoD program.

* note, If you sell the machine to someone else and neglect to terminate CUoD
capabilities, you (the client who signed the contract) are liable in most countries
to pay for temporary hours if the new owner is not willing or able to pay.

Software Licensing for the Temporary Activation

As described previously; payment for AIX, i, PowerVM, HACPM,
HASM, CSM daily usage entitlement for the temporary processors
is now included in the billing features.
Note: IBM i 5250 OLTP usage on the temporarily activated processor is also
included for IBM i assuming there is at least one 5250 Enterprise Enablement
feature already installed on the system.

OTHER SOFTWARE IS NOT INCLUDED
– Other IBM software which uses processor based licensing, for
example WebSphere
– Non-IBM software
– The user should consult the organizations who own/control the
software licensing terms and conditions to determine if there is
a requirement for additional licensing.



On/Off CoD Economics
!! On/Off is NOT “rent-to-own” !! (no credit toward purchase price)

Rule of thumb: If activating 1 processor at a time … it can range from 40
to 150+ days for a break even point depending on your environment
and cost elements included. 120 days often quoted as a ball-park
estimate. Break even means it would have been better to purchase the
processor versus use On/Off. NOTE this break even point does not
apply if activating more than 1 processor at a time.
How to calculate this for your situation:
– Price of processor day for your environment (with i /without i) : ddd
– Price of a permanent processor activation: ppp
– Price of maintenance on newly activated processor: ser
– Price of operating system for an additional processor entitlement plus its SW
Maintenance: osos
– If needed, the price of an IBM i 5250 Enterprise Enablement: tptp
– If needed, the price of PowerVM and other software: misc

ddd x (number days break even) = (ppp + ser + ?osos? + ?tptp? + ?misc?)

* Different operating system options, and the different software/operational requirements may change
this calculation for your company. Prices/numbers will vary by country and are subject to change

17


On/Off CoD Economics with multiple temporary activations
!! On/Off is NOT “rent-to-own” !! (no credit toward purchase price)

Scenario: your peak workload very high and requires several processor
activations. Buying one permanent processor activation does not
meet the workload needs. You need to buy enough processor
activations to meet the workload needs.

– Price of processor day for your environment (with i /without i) : ddd
– Price of maintenance on newly activated processor: ser
Maintenance: osos
– Max number of processors activated during your peaks: nnn

ddd x (number days break even) = (ppp + ser + ?osos? + ?tptp? + ?misc?) x nnn

Temporary

Great for short bursts of processing power requirements, especially
ones which would benefit by an automated, instantaneous
response.

Example: 1 processor for 10 minutes plus another processor for 7
minutes = 17 processor minutes


19


Utility CoD
Utility CoD automatically provides additional processor capacity on a temporary
basis within the shared processor pool. Usage is measured in processor minute
increments and is reported by the client via a web interface. Billing is based on
the reported usage.

For clients with unpredictable, short workload spikes who need an
automated and affordable way to help assure adequate server performance is
available as needed.
• If permanent activation of processors is not cost efficient
• If manual administrator of resources (like On/Off CoD) is too slow or operator
resource is not available

Note that adequate memory resource should be made available to achieve best
processor utilization. On/Off memory resource is not part of Utility CoD.

Utility CoD Details - Set Up & Usage
Set up
1. Client “Click to Accept” T & C’s on CoD website www.ibm.com/systems/power/hardware/cod
2. Utility CoD enablement code provided by website
3. Client enters code into the system
4. Assign quantity of inactive processors to shared processor pool using HMC
5. Set condition/state parameters for automated activation using HMC

Note – enablement code must be renewed every year on CoD website

Usage
1. When system recognizes that the base processors assigned across uncapped
partitions is 100% utilized AND at least 10% of one processor is needed, THEN
additional processor resource is automatically applied and chargeable processor
minutes start accruing.
2. Minutes stop accruing when the utilization level drops and the base processors
assigned can handle the workload.
3. As needed, report usage to CoD website, receive reporting authorization codes, enter
reporting codes into the system
Note – only processors, not memory, activations are automated


System i Utility CoD Details - Payment

Customer Steps
1. Client goes to CoD website
2. Report minutes usage on CoD website
– Report in blocks of 100 minutes
3. CoD websites provides reported usage code
4. Client enters usage code into system *

To prepay, report usage not yet incurred IBM sends statement of
reported usage to sales
organization associated
with client
Sales Steps
1. Receive information from IBM CoD
organization on usage
2. Order one appropriate billing feature for
each 100 processor minutes
* Reporting insight: There is a limited quantity of processor
minutes enabled on the system. If the client forgets to enter
their usage code, the system will stop providing utility CoD
function when the limit is reached. Once entered, the reported
usage code extends the number of processor minutes available.

Utility CoD Economics vs. Permanent Activation
!! Utility CoD is NOT “rent-to-own” !! (no credit toward purchase price)

Rule of thumb: If activating 1 processor at a time, after about 2400* to
9200* processor minutes it might have been better to purchase the
processor activations. NOTE this break even point does not apply if
activating more than 1 processor at a time.
– Price of 100 processor minutes for your environment (with i /without i) : mmm
– Price of maintenance on newly activated processor: serv
Maintenance: osos
mmm x (number 100 min break even) = (ppp + serv + osos + ?tptp? + ?misc?)

If more than one processor activated, multiple the break even number of
minutes by the maximum number of processors activated.



Utility CoD Economics vs. On/Off Processor Day
!! Utility CoD is NOT “rent-to-own” !! (no credit toward purchase price)

If you are going to run Utility for 60* minutes in a day, it is about the
same price as buying 1 On/Off processor day.

How to calculate this for your situation :
– Price of 100 processor minutes for your environment (with i /without i) : mmm
– Price of a processor day for your environment (with i/without i) : ddd
– ddd / mmm = decimal ratio (USA 9117 example: ratio = 0.60 indicating breakeven
less than 100 minutes)
– Decimal ratio x 100 minutes = number minutes breakeven assuming max of 1
processor activated during Utility CoD

If a variable number of processors is activated using Utility CoD, then the
breakeven point is calculated by
– Variable adjustment factor = vaf = (peak number of processors activated) minus
(minimum number of processors activated)
– Break even = ( ddd / mmm ) x 100 x vaf

Reserve & Utility CoD Compared

Reserve and Utility CoD similarities
– Both are an automatic way to activate temporary capacity. Inactive
processors are placed into the shared processor pool. When the
server recognizes that the number of base (purchased/active)
processors assigned across uncapped partitions has been 100%
utilized, and at least 10% of an additional processor is needed, then
that standby capacity is used.

Reserver and Utility CoD differences:
– Reserve CoD: You buy processor days in advance. Usage not
reported to IBM. No contracts required.
– Utility CoD: You buy processor minutes either after using or in
advance. Usage reported to IBM when you decide it is needed via
the Web. Contracts handled via the Web.
